Anticipated Forecasts for the San Jose Sharks in the 2025-26 NHL Campaign
The San Jose Sharks are gearing up for an exciting new season, with one of the most promising young rosters in the league. The team, which includes budding superstars like Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, might see another addition in the form of Michael Misa.
Misa, a top prospect for the upcoming NHL draft, showed no interest in going elsewhere at the trade deadline during his final season in the Ontario Hockey League. The Sharks selected him at the second overall pick in the 2025 NHL draft, and he is set to make a significant impact on the team.
Misa has had an impressive career in the Ontario Hockey League, winning the Memorial Cup with the Saginaw Spirit and receiving exceptional player status. He was also named captain of the Saginaw Spirit in his draft year, where he recorded an impressive 134 points in 65 games.
Celebrini, who finished in a tie for 70th in points in the 2024-25 season, is considered one of the league's best young players. He has already caught the eye of Sidney Crosby, who described him as an "incredible player". The first Sharks prediction for 2025-26 is that Celebrini takes the next step early in his career.
The Sharks have a history of throwing their young players directly into the fire, as seen with Celebrini and William Eklund. However, Misa's ineligibility to play in the American Hockey League could limit the Sharks' options for his development.
In goal, the Sharks have a solid goaltender in Yaroslav Askarov. On defense, Sam Dickinson is a stud prospect who is sure to make an impact. The best is yet to come for Celebrini this season, according to Crosby.
With the addition of Misa, the Sharks might face another year of limited wins due to their young roster. However, the inclusion of Misa could make them an exciting team to watch. The quote "Hockey is a game of mistakes" is often attributed to Wayne Gretzky, and the Sharks are certainly making their fair share of them as they build towards a bright future.
